Soot-smeared, ashen, lips cracked, and her eyes wide open. Lifeless.
Vi's chest collapsed. "No, no, no. Mommy, please—Mommy—"
The cry in her mouth morphed into a gasp as her mother's head turned toward her, staring at Vi while she rasped in a voice that did not belong to her: Vi. Vi. Vi—
Vi jerked awake, jolting into a sitting position on her bed.
Peering over her stood Caitlyn, glancing down at her with a worried expression. The dorm room snapped into focus, dim and quiet with Maddie and Gert still asleep.
